I needed to craft some brass ingots for some armor, so I look up the recipe. Since it's low level, I figure I can buy the mats. I look at the recipe, it calls for zinc ore. I look it up online, yeah, I can buy zinc ore at an npc. So, I go and buy 3 tin ore from the npc I looked up.

Yeah, I looked up the wrong ore.

So, I looked up the right ore, zinc ore. It's only sold in Uldah, and I was in Limsa and lazy. I asked my ls if anyone was in Uldah and wouldn't mind picking up 3 zinc ores for me. One volunteered to do so. I open my mail and see 3 HQ ores. I was like "Wow, thanks!"

Then I tried to do the synth, and he had sent me 3 HQ tin ores LOL. I scrolled up in chat to make sure I typed out zinc, and I did. He laghed, I laughed, he sent me 3 of the correct ore.

So, nothing big, but it was funny that we both made the same mistake!
